XXX-NT RTR Sport 2 help

[Network]

I just recently purchased one and I like it a lot. It is surely a change from 1/8th! I have a few questions and any help is greatly appreciated. First off, what are some good mods for this thing out of the box? Which Springs/Oil should I use? I also broke my rear shock tower the other day and am curious if the Graphite/option parts for the XXX-NT will fit onto this truck? I don't see why not, but would like to clear that up.

Thanks
Travis

Replace all of your pivot points, and shock towers and FR and Rear Arms W/Graphite losi parts. They fit and it is better than doing it piece by piece. If you bash your truck You will replace all of these!

If I'm not mistaken, I think almost all the parts off a normal xxx-nt will fit it. They revamped the stock engine, exhaust, axles with quickchange tire things and I think the shocks. Other than that, I think it's the same truck.

All of the Drake 1 parts will work and any of the front end Drake 2 parts will work. If you want Drake 2 rear, you will have to replace axles, carriers, lower arms pivot block and wheels. I think the shock tower is the same but beefier on the drake 2. But do yourself a favor and get an aluminum rear tower and pivot block or make a brace to go from one side of the shock tower to the other out of a strip of aluminum. Tower Hobbies has them from RC Trix but I'm not sure how much longer they will be selling them. I ordered the whole suspension kit that RCtrix list for $225 and tower has it on sale for $148 this week. Trinity makes a rear pivot block for losi.
